[BUG] Sign up CTA in nav bar feel broken when you are already in pricing page

[asdotdev]

Has this bug been raised before?

• I have checked "open" AND "closed" issues and this is not a duplicate

Where did you find this bug?

biodrop.io

Version of BioDrop (for example "v1.2.3")

v2.85.2

Description

I was already on the pricing page of BioDrop and when I clicked on "Sign up" CTA on the navbar it did nothing and when I clicked on "Sign up" CTA on the premium option it went to signin page, then realised that "Sign up" CTA of the navbar take to the pricing page only.

It's a bit confusing when two CTA with the same label on the same page take to different route.

Check the CTA's marked in red.

Do you want to work on this issue?

Yes

If "yes" to above, please explain how you would technically implement this

One solution can be the "Sign up" CTA on the navbar should also route to signin page, but this change put two separate CTAs "Login" and "Sign up" on the navbar which route to the same page.

Another solution can be to keep a single CTA "Login/Signup" on the navbar route to signin page as creating an account is handled by GitHub itself

Let me know if want to keep it as it is for now or which change should be implemented.

I agree, this is a confusing UX.

On the pricing page, there is a plan for a free account. But the flow for that CTA takes you directly to login. There is no actual signup flow for a free account so I have another option to offer to the conversation:

1. Change the nav button to a signup/login as OP suggested
2. On click you are taken to the pricing plans page but on the free account, the CTA is Login
   on the paid account, then CTA is "Upgrade"

Potential downside to this flow - it creates 2 steps to login
Potential upside to this flow - ALL users see that there is an upgraded plan which will increase awareness of this option

I would edit this issue to not be a bug, it's really more of a UX improvement and currently working as expected.

Thank you both for your comments and suggestions. As a simpler solution the text for the Premium button can be changed from Sign Up to Join Premium plan. This has now been addressed here
